Gain valuable insight and wisdom into how to balance technology with everyday living and learn how to “keep calm and carry on” by managing technology before it manages your family.
“The essential landscape of how we rear our children has changed. I used to talk with my kids when they were in their strollers. Children played outside with other children in real life! Now I see parents on their phones and the kids are playing by themselves or worse yet, playing on a device,” Avallone says. “I have long felt a burden to share how we can parent differently, how we can take back the reins of our family. This is a message of hope not condemnation.”
When asked what she wants readers to take away from this book, Avallone answers, “It may seem like an overwhelming challenge to set up boundaries, put tools in place to manage technology usage, and teach basic digital device etiquette, but remember that whatever God has called us to do, He will give us the grace to do it. There is hope you can thrive in a digital world.”

Christina Avallone is the mom of two beautiful, grown daughters. She has lived through and parented through some of the most significant technological changes in the history of the world. She chose to leave a successful, corporate career and stay at home with her children. Here, she saw the necessity of bringing the same discipline and order she had used to manage a million dollar a week 401K plan for the Vanguard Group to this new endeavor of full-time family management. With a husband who traveled a lot for his job, she carried this task alone most of the time. During this time, she began teaching a class called, Parenting in a Digital World. Hundreds of folks came in discouraged, left empowered and were encouraged after they have attended this class. Her passion for several years has been to articulate an actionable plan and encourage parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, mentors, and even older siblings to help their families get out from under the control of surveillance capitalism and break the addiction of technology.
